During a backstage meeting, SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan gathered the featured female Superstars to reveal they would represent SmackDown’s Women’s Team at this year’s Survivor Series, noting they needed to work together to make up for the brand’s defeat last year. He went on to book a Fatal Five match between them to determine which of them would be captain.

Towards the end of the match, Carmella was able to take out Naomi by throwing her shoulder first to the ring post. She then turned her focus on Lynch, landing in a Super Kick for a two count. After regrouping, Lynch locked in the Dis-Arm-Her on Carmella, forcing her to tap out.
